Would you ever take a dilute bleach bath for a bad eczema flare? #eczema #dermatologist

These are 3 dermatologist approved tips for dealing with bad eczema flares.
1. dilute bleach baths (1/4-1/2 cup household bleach in a full tub of water) can help remove staph aureus bacteria that can trigger and worsen eczema
2. wool and other harsh materials can make itching and symptoms of eczema worse. Instead wear lose cotton clothes
3. Baths and showers (especially with hot water) cause evaporation of moisture from the skin. Make sure to lock in moisture with your favorite thick moisturizer as soon as you get out of the bath/shower.
